Hello everyone,
I am from Slovakia, my name is not important and i love to play poker. I play poker roughly for 2 or 3 years. I started with freeroll's, won some money, then lost them on cash game's and sit n go's, tilting off my money most of the time.
I registered at pokerstrategy and donk off my 1st bankroll away. I know I suck :), but I decided to start taking poker seriously. And then suddenly, the angel music starts to play from heaven, i received the email, that i can claim 2nd starting capital on Mansion. I said like wow and thank u PS for this 2nd chance.
I read articles from PS, read about DoN's and started with them. I played 1$ SH DoN's, moved up to 2$ and then to 5$. i cleared the bonus in one month and played around 1000 DoN's with 3% ROI, which is not very satisfying for me. I stopped for a while and start thinking. What are my goals? How can i improve my game? What am i doing wrong? Can be SH DoN's really profitable? After this i decided to change everything and start all over again.
My goals
1.Improve my game - Ok, i can improve my game by studying and applying things i learned in game. It sounds easy, but its not. I decided to improve my game and not focus my mind on profit, but on making good decision's - this is very important thing i guess if i want to be successfull. I decided to read Sit n go articles all from basic to gold again. I will read them carefully, focus my mind on details and try to understand everything. Cause there is a big difference between just reading and reading - understanding, what i am reading.
2nd goal was to establish new thread(this thread :)), which will not serve only for me, but also for every Sit n Go beginner's. This mean I will ask every kind of question's, some of them will look stupid maybe, but i dont care :). I just want to know everything :).
3.Practise, practise, practise - this means i will stop multitableing and will play only one or two tables at once. I will make notes at every table, try to give reasons for my action - for example I want to raise - why i want to raise? what is my goal with this raise - do i want my opponent to fold, or to continue his action? and so on. i want also to study my game afterwards - in SitnGo Wizard for example. And here is also my first question : What is the best pokersoftware for using to track opponents stats? What is poker HUD and what do i need it for? What is the best pokersoftware to track my hands in sessions and i heard also something about software that tracks your luck in coinflip situation's.
4.Start to play classic sit n go's, maybe some MTT too. This means to improve my bubble game too and to understand ICM too. Cause i read something about that, but I'm sure that nobody is counting it during tournament :). So here are my question's for ICM. How the fu*k do u know when to push or fold. i know there r ICM trainers but there r so many situations and to count(especially in turbos) if the push is good or bad is almost impossible :). How you people train for push/fold phase? please dont be shy to describe me all ur thoughts :). thnx
5.Master the probabilities to become automatic for me. I know i have to fold draws when they r expensive for me, but i know i dont know them exactly although i alredy downloaded the chart of odds and read some articles. But im going to have a better look at it ![]()
Ok, I just hope this will force me somehow to do something with me and my game :). Cause i really want to get better. I also hope u will enjoy reading my thread and every comment's and replies are welcome.
Thnx and gl.
